ADH — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C003251.2 (ADH) on melon chromosome 9 encodes a protein with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase, aryl-alcohol dehydrogenase, cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase, enone reductase, and 2-alkenal reductase activities, and belongs to the ADH-like family with NAD(P)-binding and zinc-binding domains. This gene is associated with fruit development, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, lignin anabolism, isoprenoid anabolism, and responses to hypoxia, flooding, hydrogen peroxide, sucrose, and estradiol. It is linked to traits including submergence tolerance, drought tolerance, disease tolerance, herbicide sensitivity, low temperature stress response, leaf area index, photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, plant height, and root length. Associations also connect ADH to waterlogging tolerance, cold tolerance, salt stress response, fruit aroma, fermentation, hypoxia resistance, and aldehyde detoxification. The protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, chloroplast, thylakoid, apoplast, and plasmalemma.
